Alpenglow

Alpenglow is the spiritual successor to the Afterglow theme, a minimal dark UI theme and syntax color scheme for Sublime Text 2 and 3. The theme is based on the Spacegray theme. The syntax color scheme is mostly derived from idlefingers.

Special thanks to the following contributors:

• José María Clemente @YabataDesign for designing the original Afterglow theme this is based on.
• Max Riveiro @kavu for adding a lot of icons for sidebar to this repository.
• @vikjam for their work in maintaining the Afterglow theme.

Add to your current settings or replace with the following:

{
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Theme - Alpenglow/Alpenglow-markdown.tmTheme",

    "draw_indent_guides": false,
